In general, the adage, “reduce, reuse, recycle” should be codified into law. 

Right to Repair

• Require that items made from multiple materials and components can be repaired by consumers.

E-Waste

• Require that all electronics manufacturers accept and responsibly recycle everything they sell. This can include compelling and meaningful deposit-and-return laws.

Prevent runoff pollution

• Restore marshes, wetlands and other natural runoff filtration zones

Address Plastic Pollution

• Ban single-use plastic bags, plastic-based cigarette butts, and other major forms of plastic pollution
• Fund research into alternatives to plastics used in clothing.
• Fund research into biodegradable bags and containers.
• Upgrade waste water treatment plants to filter out water-borne micro-plastics
• Phase out completely the production, distribution and sale of petrochemical-based plastics by 2040
• Fund research into efficient plastic biodegradation
